<p>[QUOTE="RomanTheRussian, post: 186551, member: 7539"]I respect your experience, however .... Original portrait 8 reales of Mexico City have two matching overlaps exactly opposite one another. The edging machine always produces pairs of identical overlaps. The only way to have "no overlap" that I could see would the edge with two distinct edge designs, not connected. One overlap is simply impossible to have with the edging press that was used at that time. As far as the details of a Mexico City edge itself - it is very regular in size and spacings. The circles are circles not squares with round holes in them. The rectangles are rectangles not squares and not trapezoids. Other brach mints have some variation but NOT Mexico City. </p><p><br /></p><p>I'll write more once I'm home and get my hands on sources, so I don't sounds like I am pulling this out of thin air.</p><p><br /></p><p>~Roman[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
